Then the work was methodically planned out to the opening of the last valve. This meant the team had to integrate the construction technologies into their work methods.Ĭommunication starts with a good plan, so the team strove to be ready for construction before the first shovel hit the ground. “One of the goals was to use technologies that have an opportunity to improve efficiency and costs for the job,” explains Darby Milius, a Performance Contractors senior field solutions architect. Their client was determined to utilize new technologies available to the industry to improve the process. Performance Contractors, an experienced team with a proven construction process, respect that refinery construction is inherently challenging and dangerous. This facilitated significant productivity gains and enabled the project to progress at the pace it did.Ĭreating a workflow and an ecosystem that makes conception to realization more efficient The team implemented technology that made workflows digital and visual, which connected data and simplified the complexity of the project. The mega project has been in progress for around three years and is nearly complete. Plus, each team member needs to be updated regularly as they work on different parts of the project. The job requires sophisticated coordination as there are many moving pieces. Each day there are up to 3,000 people on the job site, each working a particular job for the day. The addition involves laying 900,000 feet of pipe and installing multiple structures, some underground, others 300 feet in the air.
